The Short Sipahi+ by Simsek Bows (38 lbs/ 28”)
Recently Simsek Bows has contacted me and offered to participate the upcoming Turkish Bow Comparison video with the Short Sipahi Plus.
I thought, that this is very good idea, indeed! The Turkish bows in this comparison will be all of various technologies but same or similar strength.
Hence, the Simsek family has built and sent a 38 lbs Short Sipahi+ to me, which is awesome!
For the time being the bow is handed over free of charge, but we will align later how we progress.
The draw feels snappy and straight the same time, the sound at release is a little higher tone due to its size I suppose! ☺️
The shooting feels very good and there is very little vibration after the shot, which is minor ☺️
The handle is a little too small for me and I will wrap a leather stripe around the handle where I grab.
The speed is good (170fps with 315gn arrow at 38lbs/28“).
It‘s been a pleasure to shoot this bow and after enlarging the handle it will be excellent!
As always I have marked the chapters for your time management 😁
